Re: Wheels
I've seen some nice, cheap, simple wheels made of a couple pieces of MDF glued together with tread screwed to the outside. Counterbore with a forstner bit for a couple of bearings, and bolt a sprocket to it with a bit of a stand-off and you might be surprised how cheaply you can build a wheel. Go back with a holesaw and cut out some "speed holes" and you might be surprised how lightweight the resulting product is.
If you wanted them to look really nice, use baltic birch plywood, inlay some purpleheart and black walnut, and give it a nice hard varnish finish... Jason |
